Please understand that some trauma survivors need to know everything they can about events, plans or anything like that. They might ask a lot of questions and need reassurance for things you might not understand. They might need step by step instructions. Please be patient with them. They are doing their best. If possible, make sure they feel reassured. It can be hard for us to not feel like a bother. 

“here’s to the people who’s trauma did not give them thick skin. the ones who became more sensitive and insecure, who cry more easily, who get overwhelmed at small things. i’m so tired of the narrative that trauma makes you tough and untouchable. we’re survivors, not superheroes.”

“Sometimes people who need help look nothing like people who need help.”
